The 16th match of the European T20 Premier League 2026 brings together Glasgow Cosmic and league leaders Edinburgh Castle Rockers in a repeat of the tournament’s opening Scottish derby. The game is scheduled to take place on Sunday, September 6, 2026, at Sportpark Duivesteijn in The Hague. Further details on the local start time will be confirmed closer to the toss, with international viewers advised to check regional listings for the exact IST and GMT conversion.
Glasgow Cosmic, led by George Munsey, have endured a difficult campaign so far, winning just one of their five matches and sitting fifth in the points table with a poor net run rate. Jason Roy has been their standout contributor at the top of the order, while Lungi Ngidi has provided useful support with the ball, but Glasgow’s struggles to build partnerships through the middle overs and their execution at the death have proved costly in a tight competition.
Edinburgh Castle Rockers arrive full of confidence, sitting at the top of the table with seven points from four completed matches, having already beaten Glasgow comfortably earlier in the tournament in the first instalment of this Scottish rivalry at Sportpark Westvliet. Their success has been built around a well-balanced bowling attack, with Trent Boult posing a serious new-ball threat and Mitchell Santner controlling scoring through the middle overs with his spin.
Sportpark Duivesteijn tends to offer a fair contest between bat and ball on the ETPL circuit, with the new ball generally doing more early on before the surface flattens out for stroke-play in the middle overs. Given how one-sided the sides’ earlier meeting proved, both camps will be keen to manage the conditions carefully from the outset.

Head-to-Head Record
Glasgow Cosmic and Edinburgh Castle Rockers have already met once this season, with Edinburgh chasing down a modest target of 116 in just 11.3 overs to win by seven wickets at Sportpark Westvliet in the tournament’s first Scottish derby. Trent Boult was the standout performer in that game, claiming five wickets and setting up an emphatic chase led by Ross Adair, JJ Smuts, and Andries Gous.
Recent Form: Edinburgh Castle Rockers have won three of their four completed matches to top the table, while Glasgow Cosmic have managed just one win from five and will be desperate to arrest their slide against the tournament’s form side.
Team Analysis
Glasgow Cosmic
Glasgow’s main strength remains Jason Roy’s form at the top of the order, having scored 174 runs so far this season including two half-centuries. Lungi Ngidi has chipped in with important wickets, but the middle order has struggled to build on solid starts, and the death-overs execution has been a recurring weakness that a quality Edinburgh attack will look to exploit.
Edinburgh Castle Rockers
Edinburgh’s bowling attack has been the standout feature of their campaign, with Trent Boult among the leading wicket-takers in the competition and Mitchell Santner offering control and wickets through his spin in the middle overs. Their batting has also delivered when needed, with Andries Gous and Ross Adair both capable of finishing games quickly, as shown in their earlier win over Glasgow this season.
Probable Playing XIs
Probable XI (Glasgow Cosmic): George Munsey (c), Jason Roy, Moises Henriques, Liam Livingstone, Richie Berrington, James Neesham, Matthew Cross (wk), Oliver Davidson, Paul van Meekeren, Lungi Ngidi, Keshav Maharaj
Probable XI (Edinburgh Castle Rockers): Ross Adair, JJ Smuts, Andries Gous (wk), Brandon McMullen, Laurie Evans, Mitchell Santner (c), Tom Curran, Gareth Delany, Trent Boult, Mark Watt, Safyaan Sharif
Edinburgh Castle Rockers go into this rematch as clear favourites, backed by their position at the top of the table and a bowling attack that has already dismantled Glasgow once this season. Glasgow Cosmic will need a much-improved batting performance, particularly from Jason Roy at the top, if they are to avoid a repeat result in this second Scottish derby of ETPL 2026.
